There is a significant reroute to be aware of at Stocksdale. We will put out a new map at some point, but I will describe it here, you can reference the map to the right.
On the current map you will note at marker #5 there is a longer option and a shorter option that rejoin at marker #6.
Today we completed a project that removes the intersections at #5 and #6 (the markers have been removed). The short route is now incorporated into the main trail.
This accomplished two goals, to lengthen the main trail and to remove the intersections. We also remove some trail that was eroding a bit.
Using current estimates of cost per linear foot, the trails built by volunteers at Stocksdale/Walnut Woods represent approximately $90,000 in value added to these public lands. This is based on lower end estimates as of 04/15/11.

We continue to push this trail. Brett has been busting his @$$ on the
loop above the lake, so Dustin and I went out to push the cliff trail east
to event...
From I-35: Take 152 east into Liberty. Take this past 291 (becomes Kansas Ave.). At the stoplight of Kansas and N. Ridge turn right and then immediately bear left at the fork. Proceed east on what is now Sunset Ave. As you continue east, it then becomes Mill St. When you reach the traffic light at William Jewell College, turn right and cross the RR Tracks. Proceed east on Richfield Road. You will reach La Frenz road, there will be a sign for Stocksdale Park, you will turn right on La Frenz. This road will twist around left then right before you reach the park.
From 291 South: If coming from Lee's Summit or Independence, proceed north on 291, as you approach Liberty you will come to the first traffic light, which is Ruth Ewing Road. Turn right on Ruth Ewing and proceed east. It will turn north and become La Frenz road. This will go directly to Stocksdale Park.
